The above co-ordinates will take you to CNRA Park, located next to the railyards, where there is plenty of parking. This railyard stretches between Rectory Street, and Highbury Avenue in London. Another good viewing spot is at co-ordinates North, 42.59.128, West 081.11.974. This is a parking lot behind a plaza, right beside an overpass overlooking the railyard. Both locations are handicap accessible. Besides CN motive power, I have also seen some Illinois Central, and Wisconsin Central pass through here. VIA Rail Canada passenger trains streak through here as well.
As General Motors Electromotive Division is located in london, you may also be lucky enough, to see some brand spanking new units parked in the yard ready to be shipped out. We have seen such units as BNSF, and Union Pacific.
